The Flora and Fauna of the World of Grevared

The Flora and Fauna of the World of Grevared

All fantasy worlds have unique inhabitants, and Grevared is no different. Inquisitor Mylar Massengill spent most of his adult life travelling all over the lands of Grevared to catalogue the flora and fauna and share his knowledge with others. Even now, centuries later, he is considered the original and foremost authority in the land. His book, The Flora and Fauna of the World of Grevared, has been expanded over the years, though his original drawings are still included.

Inquisitor Massengill spent most of the decades from 3857-3877 AOP travelling the lands of Grevared and recording and collecting the species he found there. As the technology and magic that allowed for travel between the lands was in its infancy, Inquisitor Massengill was considered a pioneer in more ways than one. His works are now used in all educational institutions in Grevared, and they are considered the foremost authority on plant and animal classification. They have, of course, been updated by various scholars over the centuries, but the title and attribution remains the same. This edition contain the creatures created by the Experimental Labs at the University and the Academe.
